I was reading along and in awe of your research and writing and then I saw your very nice words about me. So kind of you. Your are always such a welcomed dose of sunshine in this very challenging world.
Great post, Addena. You are so right about the attack on women in the U.S. I hear that it's directly tied into the Project 2025 morons. Women's names and achievements in science and medicine are being removed from honorary lists and plaques, as are the names of female soldiers who've died in the course of duty. It must grate on their nerves that a woman won her Supreme Court Justice candidacy in Wisconsin last night. Musk is a huge anti-woman advocate who actually told people that the world would end if Susan Crawford was voted in. As for the woman who voted for Trump but didn't think the policies would affect her, I have little sympathy for her and others who did the same. It's stupid, gullible thinking. If she thinks it's bad now, she's in for an even bigger shock, thanks to Trump's tariff announcements today. The whole world is watching in real-time as the U.S. slips into an abyss without allies.
Thanks for your comment, Donna. I find that Elon Musk (and the other anti-women politicians) and insecure men in communities who show contempt and disrespect for women alarming.
These men’s attempt to wipe women’s excellence and contributions to our world is proof of their attempt to prove themselves superior to women. It’s the same way that they feel the need to prove they are superior to people of colour, LGBTQ + community members and people who have immigrated to their country inferior. That is also why they their Conservative Presidential supporters of The Heritage Foundation conceive and write the ( frightening) Conservative Policy Agenda : Project 2025.
Great newsletter, Addena. Your examples about the war on women in the US came as no surprise, but the scale of the effort to roll back the clock on women's rights is chilling. Your poem of resistance demonstrates that we must use our voice or die. I've been reading Jeremy Snyder's book "On Tyranny," and it demonstrates that the best thing to do is resist. Thanks for putting Denyse Thomasos and Lise Martin on my radar. Thank you for shining your light into my inbox!
Ahhh . Thanks Shelley. I think you’ll find a few research Denyse Thomasos more you’ll find her and her career just amazing. I was really proud to introduce Lise Martin to you. She is an amazing woman. Truly one of my mentors and role models.
Thank you Shelley. I make it a goal to try to remember to stand up and use my voice in whatever way I can . I try to address the problems and threats we have against freedoms, justice, and equal rights in our communities. I sometimes feel like it’s one little voice out here, but if there’s thousands of us with one little voice…. 💥
Oh, Addena. I always enjoy your monthly newsletters. Your poems always surprise and make me think. The people you shine your light on are amazing. I learn so much from. You, always. Cheers. Sidney
Thank you, Sidney. I try my best sometimes I feel I ramble on and go back-and-forth, but that’s kind of like me lol. I appreciate your support, and the fact that you, who is such a wonderful and ‘from the heart’ writer, you like my work.♥️
